The District also recently changed its minimum replacement criteria for various classes of vehicles to be consistent with the other water management districts and the state. This along with staff reductions and increased use of teleconferencing and other electronic communications has reduced overall fleet utilization, resulting in cost savings and the ability to delay capital outlays for new vehicles and equipment. <strong>Budget</strong> Variances The 4.9 percent decrease for this activity is primarily due to a reduction of 10,000 gallons in estimated fuel requirements for fiscal year 2013-14 ($32,500); no new vehicles or associated equipment are scheduled for replacement in fiscal year 2013-14 ($68,295); and a reduction in staff resources (2 FTEs) resulting from the District’s restructuring efforts. Major <strong>Budget</strong> Items Fuel and lubricants ($937,500); Parts and Supplies ($246,214); and Vehicle Insurance ($155,000). 102
